300,000 points. What does it all mean?

300,000 points. What does it all mean?

First, it means that my months cost to blog on ActiveRain will drop by $10 per month. Pretty cool

Second, it means I'm being consistent. How many people join ActiveRain but never come close to hitting a number this big? Kudo's to everyone who has more points than me, especially the ones who've hit a Million! I now understand that work that needs to be put in.

Next, I have to mention everything that I've learned here. There's a never-ending supply of blogs that can teach you everything from how to use Scribefire to write and customize your blog (thanks, Alan!), to learning the best ways to use your iPad/iPhone for real estate (thanks, Cheryl!), and everything in-between.

But the best thing about AR is the friendships I've made. Talking to other real estate peeps on the phone, meeting them in person, giving and receiving advice, pep-talks and sharing what we all know is just the tip of the iceberg.

It's a real community that I'm proud to be a part of.

Congrats on your milestone Eric. I hit a wall at 300K and it took a person coming up fast behind me to get me back in motion. By the way...you were that person. Thanks! lol

Good for you, my man.

I'm still trying to get AR to sign-off on me selling my points 50,000 at a time.

Roger, we have been commenting back and forth for a while, haven't we?

Jared, one of the best in the circle, for sure!

David, I never thought I'd get here. You can, too!

William, one of these days I'll get that dedication that you speak of and really write a blog the way it should be done.

Chris Ann, with all the people I've met around the country, I wish I'd have started on AR a LOT sooner!

Donna, thanks. It does feel good.

Randy, I don't know if you're joking or not, but I did have you on my radar :)

Jason, transfer them to me. I'll buy the beer.

Congrats on hitting the 300K mark. I know it takes a lot of work and dedication to make it that long. Many start a blog and get on a few times, but that is it.  Eventually they complain about not getting anything out of Activerain... But you need to put in the time and effort to truly see the benefits of Activerain.

Way to go Eric, you’ve been milking Active Rain for all it’s worth and it’s paying big dividends. I’m just hoping to make the 100k mark sometime within the next year. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Eric, that means a lot. I know I've certainly enjoyed the few times we have had a chance to talk on the phone. Wish I was closer the other day to take you up on your lunch offer on Facebook.
